In the title compound, [Cu2(C6H8O4)Cl2(C15H11N3)2]·4H2O, the dinuclear copper complex is located on a crystallographic inversion centre. Each Cu atom is in a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment, with one O atom of an adipate dianion and three N atoms from the 2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand occupying the basal plane, and one chlorine in the apical site. In addition, there is weak Cu—O interaction opposite of the chlorine with a distance of 2.768 (1) Å. The adipate ligand adopts a gauche–anti–gauche conformation. The interstitial water molecules form hydrogen-bonded tertramers that are connected to the complexes via O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, thus leading to the formation of tightly hydrogen-bonded layers extending perpendicular to the b-axis direction.

Dropwise addition of 1 M aqueous Na2CO3 (3.0 ml) to a stirred aqueous solution of CuCl2.6H2O (0.1215 g, 0.50 mmol) in H2O (5.0 ml) produced a blue CuCO3 precipitate, which was centrifuged and washed with water until no Cl- was detected in the supernatant. The resulting solid was added to a solution of adipic acid (0.0731, 0.50 mmol) and 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (0.1166 g, 0.50 mmol) in 20 ml mixed solvent of H2O and CH3OH (v:v = 1:1). The mixture was stirred for half an hour and filtered, and the dark green filtrate (pH = 5.01) was left standing at room temperature. Green plate-like crystals were obtained several days later (Yield: ca. 23% based on Cu).
H atoms bonded to C atoms were placed in geometrically calculated positions and refined using a riding moldel with C–H = 0.93–0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C). H atoms of water were found in difference Fourier syntheses and fixed as initially found.
Different from the more rigid dicarboxylate spacer ligands, saturated aliphatic dicarboxylate ligands are conformationally more flexible with a larger coordination versatility and as such they are viewed as important flexible spacer ligands (Forster & Cheetham, 2002; Vaidhyanathan et al., 2002; Zheng, Lin et al., 2008). Among these, the adipate dianion has often been used as a bridging ligand to construct dinuclear complexes (Zheng, Cheng et al., 2008). In our recent research, we have been interested in the polydentate N-donor 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine which we have used together with bridging dicarboxylate ligands to construct polynuclear complexes. We report herein the synthesis and
of a new complex, [Cu2(C15H11N3)2(C6H8O4)Cl2].4H2O.In the centrosymmetric dinuclear copper complex, two [Cu2(C15H11N3)2(C6H8O4)Cl2] moieties are bridged by an adipate ligand with a Cu···Cu separation in the dimer of 9.715 (2) Å (Fig. 1). The adipate ligand adopts a gauche-anti-gauche conformation. Each Cu atom is in a distorted square pyramidal coordination environment, with one O atom of an adipate dianion and three N atoms from the 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand occupying the basal plane, and one chlorine in the apical site. In addition, there is a weak Cu-O interaction opposite of the chlorine with a distance of 2.768 (1) Å.
The interstitial water molecules are interacting with the metal complexes via hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1). There are three kinds of hydrogen bonds: From one of the lattice water molecule to the coordinated oxygen atom of the carboxylate group, from the other water molecule towards a chlorine atom of one of the ligands, and between the water molecules themselves, which are arranged as tetramers in planar squares. In this way each of the water tetramers ties together four different complexes via H bonds to each two chlorines and two carboxylate oxygen atoms. The complexes in turn are hydrogen bonded to four of the water tetramers, thus leading to the formation of hydrogen bonded layers that extend perpendicular to the b-direction of the

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

Different from the more rigid dicarboxylate spacer ligands, saturated aliphatic dicarboxylate ligands are conformationally more flexible with a larger coordination versatility and as such they are viewed as important flexible spacer ligands (Forster & Cheetham, 2002; Vaidhyanathan et al., 2002; Zheng, Lin et al., 2008). Among these, the adipate dianion has often been used as a bridging ligand to construct dinuclear complexes (Zheng, Cheng et al., 2008). In our recent research, we have been interested in the polydentate N-donor 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine which we have used together with bridging dicarboxylate ligands to construct polynuclear complexes. We report herein the synthesis and crystal structure of a new complex, [Cu2(C15H11N3)2(C6H8O4)Cl2].4H2O.
In the centrosymmetric dinuclear copper complex, two [Cu2(C15H11N3)2(C6H8O4)Cl2] moieties are bridged by an adipate ligand with a Cu···Cu separation in the dimer of 9.715 (2) Å (Fig. 1). The adipate ligand adopts a gauche-anti-gauche conformation. Each Cu atom is in a distorted square pyramidal coordination environment, with one O atom of an adipate dianion and three N atoms from the 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine ligand occupying the basal plane, and one chlorine in the apical site. In addition, there is a weak Cu-O interaction opposite of the chlorine with a distance of 2.768 (1) Å.
The interstitial water molecules are interacting with the metal complexes via hydrogen bonding interactions (Table 1). There are three kinds of hydrogen bonds: From one of the lattice water molecule to the coordinated oxygen atom of the carboxylate group, from the other water molecule towards a chlorine atom of one of the ligands, and between the water molecules themselves, which are arranged as tetramers in planar squares. In this way each of the water tetramers ties together four different complexes via H bonds to each two chlorines and two carboxylate oxygen atoms. The complexes in turn are hydrogen bonded to four of the water tetramers, thus leading to the formation of hydrogen bonded layers that extend perpendicular to the b-direction of the unit cell.
